Gorden is originally from Virginia Beach, Virginia, by way of Chicago, Illinois, and currently resides in Kansas, where he serves as LDG’s Territory Sales Representative for the Northwestern region. After missing the cigar and pipe industry for a long time, he jumped on this opportunity when it arose to work here. A lifelong learner with a passion for helping people, he hopes to live in the tobacco industry for the rest of his days. He believes in being flexible in life and being open to learning new things to handle any curveballs that life may throw at you.

A Wichita State alum, Gorden studied Business and Management. A few fun facts about him include that he loves all kinds of music and enjoys reading anything from Bukowski to David Mitchell, and Kurt Vonnegut to Chuck Palahniuk. Besides smoking cigars and pipes, he spends a lot of time chasing his two boys around, wrenching on his 1966 Nissan and 1969 Cadillac, his oldest son’s Volkswagen Beetle, and his younger son’s “race car.”
